9 Unnecessary Skin Care Products

Find out which fluffy skin care potions and lotions you don't have to spend hard earned cash on

Creams designed for specific body parts Try not to get sucked into the marketing ploy that you need different creams for each and every body part. Lancer says that a good body lotion can be used on all parts of your body -- no special body-part-specific creams necessary. Try something like Nivea Cream, $3.79, which is effective on dry areas like hands, legs, elbows and feet.

Disagree with many points. Yes, it is ridiculous to buy a moisturizer for your hands and elbows and another for your feet. But SPF, toner, body-firming products, and face masks have absolute, proven benefits (for instance, toner adjusts the skins natural pH back to its slightly acidic level and removes the last traces of makeup and grime).

I disagree with the SPF, the body firming, toner, face mask...each of these products has shown me significant results and/or have preserved youthful skin. Also, they provide that extra beauty ritual that makes one happy...and the best accessory for beauty is a smile. I wouldn't listen to this article at all, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I disagree with the SPF. I live in Brazil and I go often to the beach. When I use SPF 30 I my skin gets red and burned, my skin aches. When I use SPF 80 my skin gets tanned but not burned and doesn't ache.
